>>133706975K-On was one of the most boring anime I've ever watched. It's up there with Tamako Market and that "comedy" about the psychic girl that aired a year ago. I have to force myself to finish season one because it was so hyped and couldn't get past episode 3 in the second season.

I'm trying to fix my life but it seems that I am fucking up every single time. I fucking hate all of this and I'm losing confidence but I'm going to keep trying because the only other option is a slow death full of misery.

>>133707328>max 3 shows per season, with high production values and selling very nicely with good direction and execution>20 shows of actionshit every season, with terrible CGI, archetypes, and cliches>moe is the one killing animeRemove actionshit, more good SoL.

Contrarians are human cancer.I thought Speed Grapher was wonderful.I don't let how popular a thing is or how many retarded fans stop me from letting me enjoy it, and I think everyone should be the same way because it's retarded.

I am a hypocritical faggot, although I don't shitpost threads I look down harshly on people who enjoy moe/SoL stuff, but whenever I decide to watch them once in a great while I deeply enjoy them.

>get curious about Ninja Slayer dub (watched around 6 episodes of it when it was still being uploaded)>episode 19 was on dailymotion (but not on nyaa) and check it out>Ninja Slayer quotes Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You UpI felt like an ass for laughing my ass off at getting rickrolled by Funi.Full batch when?

Besides Tatiana being an irredeemable cunt no matter how much she mellows out later in the show, Alex being way too cool to the point of being annoying to watch (not to mention Sophia's feelings for him, I just don't but it), Last Exile was a pretty damn good show.

Every single -monogatari series I've seen has been an absolute pain to watch, simply awful.I'm not pointing towards the source material, though (which I haven't read), it's just that I find Shinbou's directing style to be the complete opposite of what I enjoy.

>>133708453I know I'm going to regret asking, but what exactly did you find boring about it?

There's always something new in every episode that surprises you. The characters are always new and all of them feel like real people, and not the>b-b-baka>kyaaa>I WILL DO IT FOR MAI NAKAMAbullshit from most shows

Hell, it even has moral lessons and shit from some of them. Granted the visuals are pretty crappy. But storywise its a gem.

>>133708751Hey, anon. I don't know for sure why I don't like it. It's not that I hate it, though, it's just that everytime I try restarting it I feel sleepy and/or feel like doing something else. I have even enjoyed much slower-paced anime.I think I've watched three episodes of it. Kept coming back because people say it's good

>>133709130I rewatched the OVAs recently and, damn, I'd forgotten how much I loved them, it also brought back some good memories about the manga.I'm actually kind of glad the TV series was never made: By my calculations it would have been about as long as the most recent HxH, but there's no way it would a series so action-heavy would have had the budget to have good animation consistently for so long back in 2003 unless if were split into various seasons (FMA looked pretty good but that's BONES we're talking about and it only lasted 50 episodes), that is, if they animated the whole thing. Was 3x3 even popular enough to warrant a high-budget and/or multiple seasons?Not to mention all the gore and how it would have been censored to hell.

>>133709437i personally think 3x3 will look good if animated into the 90's anime era, and it is possible to reach 50+ provided it did well in sales. But it was the manga that seals the deal, with the current anime industry it will never capture the charm 3x3 eyes was supposed to have

>>133709854Yeah, I don't think 3x3 would feel right if animated with a modern look, even if they tried to make it feel old-school, like UtT (which didn't work, IMO).I remember I also felt like that when the Guyver series came out, it just didn't work and felt awkward.

>>133710090>mfw we will never get the quality animation we have back in 90'sstill is a shame it does not get the attention it deserves back then. guyver is ok actually but of course something is amiss and it does not fit anymore idk.

>>133710399>will never get the quality animationWhat are you talking about?Your average TV series nowadays is better animated that you average 90s TV series.What I meant was, 3x3's artstyle and feel in general wold feel out of place being animated nowadays, look at how Parasyte and guyver had to undergo changes in the character designs, for example, and I wouldn't want that at all for 3x3.Grainy, hand-painted, gritty looks is how I'll always remember 3x3 animated.

>>133710576Why did i even post that video, the quality is shit.Why would you obscure a video for an old OVA nobody cares about anymore, is OOP and whose western license has long expired, like that? Who's gonna claim copyrights?

>>133710576im not good with words. of course the quality will improve over time what i meant was it will not be the same as the standard we put up with the anime in the 90's. simply put, it just wont feel right.

>>133707932>ruining the industryThey're the only adults who actually financially support the animation industry you fucking piece of shit. If you want to bitch about something, stop being a pathetic fucking leech.

>>133709049It's weird that I enjoy Mushihi from what little I've seen, but I won't go out and watch it on my own. I've only ever watched it when a friend recommended a particular episode. I legitimately enjoy the series, but I just don't want to watch it.

I legit just don't enjoy reading. The thing with written media is that to create a sense of space and setting arduous and often over-detailed descriptions of places, character's clothes, appearance, etc, are used, and I honestly just find that unappealing. Similarly to when I'm speaking to someone, I like things cutting straight to the point, with no fluff, no masturbatory dwelling on details, the like most authors seem to engage in. It seems that most people find that kind of thing immersive and attractive, I don't.. I'm very much a visual kind of guy.I try, I do, but the last book I remember enjoying was Yukikaze, and, if you've read the book, you'll know that the narrative is quite dry and straightforward, no fancy allegories, no purple-prose, nothing of the like. I know its traits turned a lot of people off it, but that's what made it attractive to me.

>>133712282How would you know then if the end was fitting or not? Or if the series was so good that its non-ending doesn't really matter?Trusting other people's opinions or reading reviews?Doesn't seem reliable.

Haremshit is a genre that has been overwelcomed its stay for far too long. Nowadays it just beat the same overused tropes over and over again and yet there are still people eating that shit up it's sickening. Waifufags make everything even worse.

>>133712244>The thing with written media is that to create a sense of space and setting arduous and often over-detailed descriptions of places, character's clothes, appearance, etc, are usedThis is probably why I enjoy manga so much, you can skip all the extraneous stuff and get right to the point because it's right there in front of your face. I do like reading, but I just want more instant gratification in my entertainment these days.

Anime doesn't really do it for me in comparison though, I like manga as a midway point between words and visuals.

I don't understand why people get so triggered over reposting image content from other sites (tumblr gifs, etc.)

The first time I cried in 6 years was when I read the ZnT author's final tweets. Ever since then, I tear up extremely easily and cried for almost an hour when moot announced he was leaving, even though didn't know him.

I haven't watched any of the Ghost in the Shells.

Or the original Evangelion series.

I think 3DCG anime is the future, we're merely in a transition period. Once the pipeline is set, it'll become the standard. Eventually, techniques will be implemented to "backport" a 2D feel.

I think SAO is a pretty good series (minus a few parts, and I haven't read Alicization since I've heard it's a clusterfuck). Same goes for Mahouka.

The only VN I've read from start to finish is Katawa Shoujo. I couldn't even finish FSN, let alone anything else.

I wish people would stop fighting over whose waifu is better.

I wish I was Japanese so I'd be able to read a lot of stuff without having to wait for translators

>>133711765What annoys me the most about people who brag about reading and who try to give off the impression that they're sophisticated adults for reading is that in most cases, they're not actually reading real literature. They're read fantasy, science fiction, and all the other worthless genre fiction garbage.

Newsflash, chucklefucks: Reading a children's novel like Silmarillion doesn't make you a sophisticated adult any more than reading Gundam-san does.

>>133712952I rename everything I get off google images with tumblr filenames but that's an amusing idea to rename good quality images instead. My new dream is to bait someone desperate to fit in by naming the webms I create as vlcsnaps.

>>133713117>>133712952I'll never understand troll mindsets, I get so annoyed every time a thread derails or the content of a post gets ignored because of a stupid filename that probably came from a google search.

>>133713117Yes, join me you magnificent bastard. I'm totally going to have to try the vlcsnap thing. I've been unable to come up with a way to bait people about Skype though. (Beyond just mentioning it, which is boring.)

>>133713220I'm normally not much of a troll, but the degree to which anons get irrationally triggered by tumblr and whatnot is both hilarious and obnoxious. Desensitizing retards is a public service. And also fun.

And it's not like these people aren't just looking for something to sperg out over. If not me, it'll be someone who wasn't baiting them.

I wish Liquid went bankrupt and with that all the shit about Kuroinu dissapear, and then someone take the series and fix everything wrong about it, and give Chloe a proper development and a better ending she deserves better. Still mad as fuck, fucking vault faggot, fucking edgy and teen assholes, fucking japan, fucking liquid, i hate them so much.

Aldnoah.Zero had a great soundtrack and I wish there was a third season.

I love Gundam and almost every mecha anime. I dropped Fate. I hate idolshit and sports anime. I only play hentaiverse for the grindfest and not the porn.

I have a MAL, tumblr, reddit, Pixiv, Deviantart and Animebytes account and I'm very proud of my shitty and cheap Hentaiverse gear set.

I like BL undertones.

I also stream from Kissanime and Daisuki when I can't be fucked moving my downloaded anime torrents, despite being on elite private trackers which obsess over encoding and MUH REMUX/FLAC I don't give a shit and watch everything on VLC in standard definition to save space unless I need to make a webm or gif. Can't be fucked to set torrents to download sequentially either. I want to get into encoding and remuxing but I'm too lazy and webming probably counts as transcoding anyway.

Sometimes I shitpost by deliberately finding tumblr images or converting gifs into webms.

I enjoy webripping everything, scanlating and drawing and look up to anyone who can bypass paywalls.

While I'm excited to watch it, I'm not excited for the horrible pacing JoJo 4 is going to have. Stardust Crusaders went from a neat monster of the week show to drawing out the fights for two weeks. I really hope David Pro trims the fat on this one to make it more watchable.

I had a major surgical procedure yesterday, so I watched all of K-On today. I don't know whether it's the medicines I'm on or the memories of bands that I was in that never took off the ground, but this show has made me feel fucking hollow.

I think Symphogear is absolutely terrible, I don't get why so many people like it.I think Space Dandy was pretty good and most of the hate it got came from it being aired on toonami at the same time.Cowboy Bebop is boring.I can only fap to doujins for shows I haven't seen

>>133714486>Character development is overrated and not always necessaryThis.So many times I see shows and movies, not just anime, being criticized by other people for static or "under-developed" characters, and I honestly just don't get it.For me, in my list of priorities for a show, characters probably rank in 3rd place, with plot and atmosphere being the priorities, i don't need "relateable" characters, I'd rather have the first 2. Note that I'm not saying I'm OK with "bad" characters, like an annoying MC or even a cuntish secondary character that's featured frequently (looking at you, Tatiana), just that characters don't always have to be the focus.

If i go more than 2 weeks with out watching an episode of Cowboy Bebop i'll quickly forget whats good about it, and its not as if I don't like the show, but i can't understand why its so highly praised and yet at the same time, i can't see anything overtly wrong with it either.

I think that Evangelion isn't all that good. I tried to watch it and got to the end. I felt it was a bit boring.

I could never get into Haruhi, no matter what anybody says. I watched it back years ago and only seen a few early episodes. Its not bad, I just didn't want to watch it. I tried rewatching it again but always gave up. Maybe one day I'll try and watch it again.

FMA: B >>>>>>>>>>>>> FMA

Gundam 00 is the most polished Gundam series. UC fags whine too much.

Code Geass is my favorite anime.

I used to browse /m/ all the time but now they can't go one post without somebody going full autism and spam threads with G-Reco,even if its not a Gundam thread.

/a/ gets triggered way, WAY too easily :).

I wish /jp/ and /a/ never split up. I actually think 2hus are not that bad if contained like KanColle threads here.

I only watched NNB for Renge. Its really boring otherwise.

DFC is fucking shit. Especially if the character is a tsundere. Lolis are no better.

Toradora is overrated. The romance and drama sucked balls, it looked really forced and awkward, I hate the fact that they threw away the comedy which by the way was the best thing about the series, and replaced it.

>>133715028Well, yeah.It's just in more than one occasion I've encountered some pretentious douchebag who does nothing but parrot some bullshit he probably saw on the internet about how characters are the backbone of ANY story and without them even a great plot or setting is wasted, or something to that effect. And it just feels so alien to me.

>>133715104I can get that. Karen's pretty cute, even though I prefer Tsukihi more. Karen's got an energetic spunky personality, which is appealing, but I prefer Tsukihi slightly more. I also enjoyed Tsukihi phoenix over Karen bee.

>>133715113I can agree to that. I think it depends on the type of story. If the story is more plot focus, the characters don't really matter, and the actual plot/themes/adventure whatever are more impotent. Depends on what the story is going for. If the story is more character focused, then obviously the character quality is far more integral.

>>133715012Flat chests are greatJust imagine getting that washboard all wet and slip-sliding your thing all over the nipples.Or hugging a flatty close and feeling her heartbeat directly, her chest rising and falling.

>>133706788Okay I'll bite. Chaos head; Visual novel >>> Stiens;gate visual novel. Takumi is a far more relateable protagonist than Okabe, who seems more like a Normie trying to act like he's a weirdo who's into anime. The Chaos;head anime is shit thought.

GATE was honestly fun if you wanted to turn your brain off.

I like Evangelion but there are better anime. End of is what really made it in my opinion.

I don't think Monmusu was anything too special, and honestly was kind of boring outside of the fact that it had cute monster girls.

>>133715352Like see I get that. And that's fine, it's just a monster girl harem shit, I just don't see how it got so popular. I mean i didn't know so many people had a monster girl fetish, it seems like more of a niche thing. Aside from that, outside of having decent character designs, it's not any different than typical haremshit. And I like Haremshit. I just thought it was a little dry over all.

Fuck me Kaiji was really good, way better than I expected. Marathoned like 22 episodes, then finished season 2 shortly after. I would have liked the pachinko arc a bit more if it was cut in half to be honest though. Still great.

I can't shake the feeling that we're all part of a larger whole that was separated eons ago, for no reason at all, and that we're just sitting inside our minds watching and waiting, pretending to do things because it makes us feel more comfortable.

I also can't shake the feeling that our limited frame of reference has us completely misunderstanding cause and effect. Pretty sure the butterfly flaps its wings that way BECAUSE the hurricane forms in that place, at that time.

>>133716871Agreed.When I started the show I thought Kyoko was worst girl because she was kind of a sociopathic dick, but she ended up redeeming herself.I disliked Homura until episode 10, where she became one of my favorites. And then Rebellion happened.

>>133708342It came out more enjoyable than I expected when I got into it. Worst point about it is Steph is an annoyance and they just basically made her the Meg of the show which doesn't add anything to the story.

Serious art is cool and all but the art in anime/manga I'm looking for is style. Something neither realistic (thus not as personable and harder to animate) or completely cartoony (which is not attractive at all). The result is probably going to be cute.

>>133718490Let me get this straight: the main problem you have isn't in fact that you don't like anons getting something off their chests, you genuinely have a problem with people whose opinions that go against the /a/ hivemind/consensus, am I reading you correctly? Because holy shit, you're a colossal faggot if that's the case.

>>133718599Let me get this straight, that you would accept opinions no matter how asinine, completely wrong, and antagonistic it is towards anime and manga and everyone who enjoys it because it offends some imaginary hivemind you made up? Because holy shit, you're a complete retard.

>>133718953>only /v/ uses meme words like "hugbox" to justify their bullshit opinions/a/ does exactly the same, are you retarded? But I guess that's fine because to you their opinions aren't "bullshit".

>>133719201>Light will write anyone's name inside his book, even with sacrifices as long as he can prevent himself getting caught, regardless if the target is innocent or not>People still worship him as one of the best protag ever

>>133719436Again, I've seen "technically good CG" but I don't like it, because it usually clashes so awfully with the hand drawn stuff. I've seen CG that looked really good, but it's always been minimal stuff. When it's the whole fucking robot it sticks out.

>>133708045Hey, everyone has their own shit tastes, what's significant to some is shit and a dropped show to others, if you don't find meaning in other animes then maybe you should broaden your horizons or fuck off. I couldn't stand watching yuru Yuri and dropped it 5min in when I first tried to watch it, now like a year later I started watching it and cried at some parts. Meant nothing to me the first time and meant a good deal the second. Significance is relative and you shit up this thread and now I have cancer, thanks

I'm not a deluded mouthbreather who thinks they've single handedly rushed in some horrible dark age of cute girls and are rotting anime to the core because that's fucking retarded, but I don't think any of their works are particularly amazing. Sure, their shows all LOOK good (Hibike, Nichijou etc.) but barring Yamada, who is excellent, none of the actual direction of their shows is that impressive.

>>133706788I watched only 3 episodes of bakemonogatari and didn't liked them so I assume all monogatari is pretentious haremshit and people liking them are hipocrites that want to watch harem shenanigans pretending they are better than people watching classic haremshit.

I genuinelly think that moe is ruining anime even without having watched more than two/three episode of NonNonByori as example of the whole moe Sol genre.

>>133707539>I thought Speed Grapher was wonderful.How? What? I'm at a loss of words? I.. what?The concept was absolutely wonderful, and it only makes seeing how they destroyed the series with terrible animation, terrible direction, terrible dialogs, terrible ost, terrible "monster of the week" structure more painful.I wanted to like it, but it was so badly done that it saddened me a lot.Thinking about it, I would really love to see a reboot of Speed Grapher done well, but man, was the original shit.

>Forces experimental setpieces, narration, and animation switch-ups on a harem setting that does nothing to justify the experimenting, the animation, or the harem.

>Source material is faux-sophisticated soap opera. Chapter pacing is tidy and neat, but only because the terrible pace of the talky bits demands it. The talky bits themselves: chock full of filler and deadweight. Everything said could be cut in half (but "that's muh point," right?).

>Speaking of cliche, every fucking character is an ambiguous cliche courtesy of the harem scaffolding, and every one of them attempts to surmount their cliche by adding a second dimension to their angst of missing out on Ararararararagi dick, but so quickly revert back to their cliches to hand-hold the pandered audience.

>In addition, most character growth is ignored when another series picks up at a separate time (useful if you're a director and trying to keep an audience pandered to, as you can revert back to the character cliches that make your animated jailbait appealing in the first place).

>Just Deus Ex my Machina up, senpai.

>"Unreliable narrator" trope is never firmly established so it's silly to dissect.

>Plot moves at a snail's pace. When the plot attempts pathos, it dives back into exposition, which turns it into bathos.

>When Araragi acts as the moral locus of whatever conflict, he comes off unlikeable - and not even in the like-even-though-he's-unlikeable sense.

>EVERY personality is lewd for its own sake, and not for any character motivation, which dovetails into...

>All of the above is just to sell underage tits and ass in various supernatural flavors. Okay. Many shows do. This show even animates them beautifully. So why is it so unnervingly perverse when you attempt even a cursory thought about everything else EXCEPT the porn?

50% of anime is shit, and the people who watch the shit half of the shows are often fat/ugly/socially retarded and at the same time the most vocal about their passion, automatically giving out a bad signal about the whole fanbase to possible newcomers.

You can't even say you like anime without crippling your social image because of the sheer amount of hatred weeaboos create.

I swear to god if my friends didn't suggest me a few shows i would have kept thinking all anime is childish and retarded, and most of the people who know nothing about it keep thinking like that.

And it's a shame, honestly, because anime produced some really good stuff most people will never watch because "Ugh man, but it's korean cartoons, it's so weird and is for kids".

>>133716618Different guy but same comment. I didn't watch Charlotte with /a/, I just watched it a few days ago, and it really didn't seem trainwrecky at all. I think that was just the echo chamber effect.

It was certainly flawed, I'm not trying to argue that, but I've seen trainwrecks, and Charlotte really wasn't one.

>>133720800>non non biyori is shit and everyone who likes it needs to die in a firepit.I understand people who think NNB is boring even though they're wrong but when it triggers people like you to such a degree, I honestly worry about your mental state.

I don't care for One Punch Man, but I can't really muster more than a shrug over it.

>>133720735>>Forces experimental setpieces, narration, and animation switch-ups on a harem setting that does nothing to justify the experimenting, the animation, or the harem.>People shouldn't try new thingsReally now?
